There are definitely cool parts in that sequence, as you said. Nonlocality, entanglement, the Liouville’s theorem and some other concepts are presented lucidly and understandably, and with the Bayesian view. They are other parts, that are basically advocacy of Many Worlds, that are much weaker, but still mostly fun to read. It’s just none of it is really needed for learning rationality.
I am not a good authority on popular literature about QM, as I had learned it academically from undergrad and grad-level texts, and it’s hard to go back to my previous self to do a fair evaluation of a popular book or a video series.

Any you’d recommend?
Definitely Griffiths Quantum Mechanics for undergrad. Lucid, clear, concise exposition. Also easily found online.
Thank you! Found the book in a minute, looked at the first few pages, and indeed they were a pleasure to read.
